Pioneer Secretary of Alliance for Democracy, now All Progressives Congress (APC), in Ekiti State, Mr. Biodun Akin-Fasae, has warned aggrieved members against blowing the current internal crisis in the party out of proportion.
Fasae, who expressed sadness over the development, also bemoaned the approach of the agitators for allegedly plotting to pull down the entire party structure for no just cause.
Speaking with journalists in Ado-Ekiti, Fasae disclosed that the most disturbing scenario was the ongoing alleged attempt to recruit members of the party for selfish agenda.
The APC chieftain disclosed that elders in the party were concerned with events in recent time as regards the party in the last few weeks, assuring that, “things will change very soon and you will see.”
He said: “Some aggrieved members have taken the fight to the ridiculous level of saying what the opposition could not say against our governor. To me, that is the highest level of hypocrisy.

“But, sitting down in a corner and trying to be the face of opposition in the party, it won’t be easy,” he warned.
“Those who have personal grouse with Fayemi are recruiting innocent members to fight their cause. Right from the onset, some of them have vowed to cripple Fayemi’s government.
“So, it is not surprising today, there is rampage and war against Ekiti. They are behaving like Boko Haram fighters. Agreed, nobody knows everything. If you are not invited to government now, it does not make the governor a dictator. Ekiti is a small state. In terms of resources, land and population,” Fasae stressed.
Fasae, Publicity Secretary of Afenifere in the state, said all aggrieved members should explore the party’s laid down internal mechanism in resolving their grievances, rather than working for the downfall of the APC.
“We can still employ the windows of opportunity. We should encourage him not to drive rough in the rough political terrain…”
Fasae explained that party’s leadership was aware of some concerns raised by members, but assured them that reconciliation moves had begun for all members to be on the same page ahead of the 2022 governorship election.
